Be the friend I never knew

I discovered Herbert a few years back while shopping at a Forever 21, and I instantly became a fan. The song I heard that day was "Something Isn't Right" and I made a mental note of the lyrics, came home, googled the words and found out who was the artist.

Anyhow, a couple of months ago, I did a general search for more Herbert songs and came across this one. And I must say, I can't get enough. The beat, hypnotic. The voice, soothing. The words, intense. It seems this song can be interpreted a number of different ways. Overall, I think she's talking about a breakup, but there are so many other elements to the song that I think a listener can make what he or she wants of the song. Regardless of whatever the exact meaning is, the song is beautiful. And I can't help but feel something when I listen to it.

I shared this song with my friend David Sabat who happens to be an amazing Chicago house artist. And he felt the same appreciation for the song. He even included it in his latest mix, available for download here.

So I hope you'll give this jam a listen, and groove to it as we have been. Please let me know what you think.
